Sure, microplastics in your brain or balls might be bad, but you know what's definitely bad? Macroceramics in my bike tires (hexbear.net)

its pretty bad out there. I used to get punctures like once a month in the summer, almost always from glass. I got some nicer (but slightly skinnier) tires and now I haven't picked up a noticeable puncture like that in ages but now they just leak their pressure down in under a week so I'm not sure whats worse. (bike nerds: is this because I'm using schrader tubes? my bigger tires seemed to hold better but they didn't need 60psi)

My presta tubes need to be aired up every week, I think it's a consequence is higher pressure tubes (60-90psi)

mine probably need some air like every other day but it doesn't get truly bad until its been like 5+ days.

its very annoying. Makes me want to go back to having like 2.75" wide tires that only need like 30-40 psi. These aren't even that small, still 1.75" I think, but the leakage is brutal. I'm too lazy for this
